Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2853909A1] To provide a magnetic sensor having a large magnetic-field detection angle range and a bridge circuit used in the magnetic sensor, in each of multiple MR elements in the bridge circuit, multiple strips, on the whole, along a direction substantially orthogonal to a magnetic-field detection direction are arranged in parallel at certain intervals and are sequentially connected so as to be folded back and, in each of the multiple strips, multiple strips along the magnetic-field detection direction are arranged in parallel at certain intervals and are sequentially connected so as to be folded back to form a zigzag pattern in which the multiple strips are electrically connected in series to each other.
